Bio
A bit of a chess deviant, interested in oddball ideas and unusual moves. Can sometimes play good moves as well as terrible blunders. Other main hobby writing verse. Have taken chess fairly seriously since 1975. Born in Edinburgh in April 1951. Favourite chess figure Viktor Korchnoi. Also a fan of Judit Polgar. Favourite chess book "Soft Pawn" by Bill Hartston. I play chess for fun.
